Crystal Lake is home to a flocculation plant -- a system typically used for treating drinking water, but here, it's been key in the battle against blue-green algae. "Blue-green algae is very ...

To become clean and safe, this water first has to undergo several treatment processes; the first ones are called coagulation and flocculation. These processes help get rid of particles in the ...

The process, known as clay flocculation, involves spraying a mixture of clay particles and seawater onto the red tide algae. The tiny clay particles then combine with red tide cells, and as the ...

So what does that all mean? And how does something called “flocculation” fit into all this? We’re glad you asked. Prepare to learn everything you need to know — and maybe more than you ...

Clay mitigation—a process known as clay flocculation—involves spraying the surface of the water with a slurry of modified clay particles and seawater. As the dense clay particles sink ...
